Along with the generalization of DSM and time-sharing price system, the use of electric boiler with heat reservoir becomes more and more extensive. Load forecasting of heat supply system is an important base in the study of economical operation of electric boiler with heat reservoir under time-sharing price. The BP ANN modeling of the load forecasting for a 1200 kW electric boiler is discussed. The result of hourly heat load forecasting accords well with the real heat load.
